Thickness decides edge detail, handling weight and support requirements. Both are standard in our production.
Our slabs are produced in 2 cm and 3 cm as standard. Custom thicknesses are developed on request.
Most of the world's kitchen work runs on one or the other by regional habit, not by engineering: 3 cm dominates North America, 2 cm is common across Europe and Asia.
Quartz Series from our own production. See the Quartz Series range.
A 3 cm slab gives a solid 30 mm edge with no build-up strip, which means no glue line on the front edge.
It spans further between supports, which matters on an island with a long overhang.
Vertical work: cladding, splashbacks and shower walls, where every extra kilogram is a fixing problem.
Furniture and table tops, where handling weight decides whether two people can install it.
Volume programmes where a laminated build-up edge is standard practice anyway.
Unsupported overhang limits depend on the material and the fixing detail. Confirm the figure with your fabricator for the specific slab and bracket system rather than working from a general rule.
How the three engineered surfaces differ in body, heat behaviour and where each one belongs in a project.
The three textures we produce, and what each one does to colour, fingerprints and maintenance.
The order sequence we use, from first sample through to a loaded container.
What to tell an end client after installation, and what to keep away from the surface.
Two ways to get the same look, with very different programme and cost profiles.
Three ways to specify white, and how to avoid the warm-cast problem on large areas.
Codes exist so the same slab can be produced twice. Here is how to use them properly.
What arrives at your yard, and what to confirm before the container is packed.
Yes. Email [email protected] with the application, the exposure conditions and the look you are after.
Free samples go to distributors, builders and countertop factories. Testing a physical sample beats any article, including this one.
Engineered quartz at 93% quartz content, artificial marble, terrazzo, porcelain, sintered stone and nano glass, all on our own site in Nanyang.
Send the application and the exposure conditions and we will tell you which surface fits.
